Lynskey will play half of one of those couples -- Michelle Pierson, a sweet-natured, hard-working full-time mother of two whose marriage is dying on its feet as she yearns for a more fulfilling life. The Duplass brothers will write, executive produce and direct the half-hour pilot; Duplass Brothers Productions' producer Stephanie Langhoff will serve as a co-executive producer on the project. There are no plans for either to appear on screen.

In addition to her role as Alan and Waldon's neighbor on Two and a Half Men, Lynskey's credits include HBO's The Life & Times of Tim and features Up in the Air, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Away We Go. She's repped by Gersh, Johnson and Laird Management and Susan Smith.
